and travel. His entrepreneurial business career spanned 50 years
and was equally successful and prolific: tool and die making,
furnaces, foundries, golf courses, coal mines, oil wells and
fitness clubs. He was the epitome of the song ''My Way''. Friends
may call at the Roadhouse and Rose Funeral Home, 157 Main Street
South, Newmarket, on Monday, May 26 from 7-9 p.m. A Funeral Service
will be held in the chapel on Tuesday, May 27th at 2: 30 p.m.
